Ground school, emphasis on late apex Options

[ppickerell]

My son, Mike P from work (1995 993) and I attended GGR ground school in prep for the High Speed Driving school at Infineon Feb 19th. No 914's in the parking lot but Howard (Kermit) was there on his bad boy Ducati. Great in car video of infineon with turn by turn breakdown wrong line vs right line. Gee, those walls near turn 10 seem awful close to the track! Definite gastro intestinal butterflies for me watching the in-car video. Also some Laguna in-car with a engine failure and resultant 944 fireball and cool but rapid off into the sandtraps at turn 6 right in front of the video car . Pucker time. The wife says that my son and I can run the Boxster if we want at the event. With both the 914's out of commision which should we run? Boxster or 78SC? Not fond of beating on the 911.

Thanks to GGR volunteers for the class.

Patrick,

Strange huh, bunch of 914 owners, but not a single one in the parking lot.

My excuse is that the Optima battery in my 914 is bullet proof, but my weenie battery in the Duc is real crap - so I had to ride it to keep it running....

I don't understand why you'd rather use the Boxster for the track, rather than "beat up" on the 911. Your Boxster is such a beautiful car, I would take the opposite approach. But you guys are right, the Boxster is going to be a lot more forgiving, while the 911 definately has a higher "pucker-potential quotient". I've spun way too many 911s with bad tires...

See you at Sears....
